Bills of Interest Analysis
and status of bills of interest were presented along with recommendations from
staff and the Advisory Committee on Legislation and Finance on bill positions
for five bills recently amended. The board discussed AB 206 (Runner), which
would change the funding formula for receipt of equalization funds. Members
were in concurrence there is a need for equalization funding and that the
present formula is complex, not well understood and needs to be evaluated for
possible change. There also was agreement this study and possible change
should be done within the system and not through legislation amended late in
the legislative process. Members
also discussed SB 1550 (Alpert), which would raise the permissible level of
compensation for K- 12 school board members. CCCT board members debated
whether the level for community college trustees also should be raised to
remain consistent with K-12. Members considered what is in the Ed Code review
legislation, the value of not always being tied to K-12, not providing a
disincentive to run for community college board, and seeing K-12 and community
college boards as local education boards with similar responsibilities and
expectations.
On a motion by Tafoya, the board voted the following positions:
AB 206 (Runner)
Watch, but seek to amend 3.3
